Title: Processing mass spectral data
Inventor: JEFFERY MARK BROWN
IPC: H01J49/00
Filed: 2016-10-14
Abstract: A method of mass spectrometry comprises transforming mass spectral data (e.g. using Fourier transform or wavelet transform) to produce frequency domain mass spectral data. The frequency-domain mass spectral data is modified to produce modified frequency-domain mass spectral data by attenuating or removing one or more frequency ranges that relate to noise associated with peaks of interest in the mass spectral data. The modified frequency domain mass spectral data is then transformed to produce modified mass spectral data, which may have a lower level of background noise, peak skirts or baseline artefacts. The method may be applied to time-of-flight mass spectral data. The frequency ranges to attenuate or remove may be selected on the basis of the average number of collisions experienced by ions or the collision cross section of ions corresponding to the peaks of interest. Step, window, apodisation or tapering functions having maximum and/or minimum frequency may be used.

Filed: 2019-01-09
Abstract: A vehicle control system receives vision 52 and navigation 54 road traffic sign data from a vision (e.g. camera) and a navigation subsystem respectively. It determines a characteristic of a detected traffic sign (e.g. permanent or temporary 56 or whether advance notification is needed 70). It determines whether to output an indication of the sign based on the characteristic and whether the sign is included in the vision data, the navigation data or both. Temporary signs may be automatically output 76 because they will by nature not be stored in navigation data. Permanent signs may be output if detected by both subsystems 60; by the vision subsystem only and not available to the navigation subsystem 66; or by the navigation subsystem only, in which case display is withheld until the vehicle passes the sign 74 or reaches a threshold distance at which advance notification is needed 72. Stop, yield, no entry, cyclist, pedestrian, children, sharp bend or junction signs may be characterised as permanent and slippery road, queues, road narrows or construction signs as temporary. The sign may be displayed until the vehicle has passed it.

Title: Drilling with cuttings density calibration
Inventor: DALE E JAMISON
IPC: E21B44/00
Filed: 2017-11-29
Abstract: A drilling operation can be optimized based on feedback provided by density sensors in a flow pipe. The drilling can be in a wellbore penetrating a subterranean formation while circulating a drilling fluid. The sensor can be used to detect an actual density of cuttings in the drilling fluid and within a region of the flow pipe. A modelled density of the cuttings can be calculated for the region based on an initial model. The initial model can be based on a comparison of an equivalent circulating density profile to a fracture gradient of the subterranean formation. Based on a comparison of the actual density of the cuttings to the modelled density of the cuttings, the initial model can be adjusted to generate an adjusted model. At least one operational parameter of the drilling can be changed based on the adjusted model.
